I consider Evangelion Anime 101. Everyone has to watch it.
Yeah I'm surprised can enjoy the first 2 episode that much, the story is just typical LN crap, but the episode pacing was really nice.. Okada's effect?
Need more animu and manga-making chat though.
Kamisama Hajimemashita 03:
Nanami continues to be the reason to watch this. I think that this season made me realize once and for all that shoujo protagonists are cuter than any moeblob could hope to be. Even though the show has fallen behind Kaibutsu-kun and Sukitte ii ya no in terms of overall quality, it's still pretty fun each week.
But yeah, that poor kid in this episode.
. Life can be cruel.
I expect to get a lot of mileage out of this screen.
And next week is apparently Nanamimonogotari. I don't think that's "love", Nanami.

That's going to be the only time a girl ever touches him in his whole life, and she's actually a fish

The director is also a woman. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

While divergent from my own, your honest opinion is appreciated. We are fortunate to have such a diverse spectrum of perspectives in this community.

Watanabe always delivers. The 3 shows he made are all very good. He really should've made more in the past decade. Well, I'm happy he's making 2 new shows in the coming years.
@Ko Traveling Hobo: don't be sad, I consider NGE's opening still one of the best and listen to it from time to time.
Not to mention the amazing music of You Cannot Advance.

The anime ending and manga ending are really different. You should read the manga they fill in the gap of the 8 yrs and a fulfilling ending.

Hey now, I've been on anti-hype since it got announced. My opinion of it is your opinion of SAO or Branduil's of TWGOK. Of course it seems like it had the opposite effect.

Brave 10 - 4
First half:
The gang goes to the shrine of Izumo where Isanami gets sad because
. Yadda Yadda.
The fight scene was only a touch more "stimulating." For example, there's a scene where Kakei pinned to the ground, paralyzed on top of a glowing magic circle as he asks his opponent if they are, indeed, using magic.
Fascinating.
Yet, just when all hope was lost for Brave 10 (God forbid it having much in the first place).
, and I'm not talking about Glass Fleet! Of course, our sadistic (and masochistic?) hero is called a pervert upon arrival. His appearance even weakens the magic circle that Kakei was bounded to (No. I don't see how that makes sense either). Better yet, Kakei
and stands up immediately.
Yes, people are being sliced all over the place and still breathing across the room, but, unlike them...he didn't even get fazed! All for,
to get swept off their feet by Date Masamune (the person snatcher) in the end.
The progression of this story, from the adding of new "Braves" to the implementation of character insight is executed with some of the weakest direction. Episodes that are supposed to grow characters while keeping thing exciting are left empty and handled in a sloppy manner. These are the times you see people mislabeling episodes as "filler." I wouldn't be surprised to see someone argue Brave 10 as a "filler series"! For a battle every episode, this is somethin' else.

His motivation is that he's a dick.
Accel World 06:
I'm feeling a little :kayos over Taku.
That's........possibly the most counterproductive thing he could do if he's serious about a clean slate. Huh.
She has a spare? Why?
I'm feeling a little :kayos over Taku.
So, he's squared away with Haru now, but he's still going to try to take out Kuroyukihime to prove himself to Vanquish?
He'll get destroyed, so whatevs.

I wouldn't say it's "different"; it is much more fleshed out though, especially with what happened during
the time skip
Kaoru joins a college jazz group and has some experiences moving out into the professional world with both music and medicine, as well as a short experience with dating. It's nice, and it definitely adds to the pacing and even gives Kaoru a little more development.
Regardless, I walked away from this show (and even the manga, though the pacing is obviously better there) somewhat disappointed. I was so excited for a quality show about jazz in the time period, and it hits on some topics well, but the questionable development of the plot in the latter half hurts the characters and their likeability, and it feels like the whole thing is over before it really starts. It just doesn't get as deep as it felt like it should.
No. He left Blue Knight to join Black Lotus.

Oda and Lavigne are mutual fans? Well that's interesting. lol, I can just imagine Oda rocking out to Girlfriend while drawing while his wife tells him to turn that racket down because the kid is sleeping.

Well it is a battle shounen. It just happens to be one of two or three that can make me angry.

Code:Breaker is a fairly regular show that follows a fairly traditional formula. Zetsuen is pretty, er, far out there.

Angry like Eureka 7 made you angry?
I thought he didn't like it. Not make him angry. Though he did say he hated Gekkostate.

To be fair, I didn't feel that jazz was an important factor in the show, it was a tool that connected the characters. I think the 12 episode form suited the show well, it was always interesting because it was short, but yes I wouldve liked to see more.

Angrier. The only other anime/manga that's comparable in terms of rage factor for me is Umi no Misaki.

No. I'm pretty sure he left Leoindz that episode. Didn't it show Colbat, Manganese, and Blue?

Listen to this man. Experience the sensation of the season.
Sounds like something that really needs an anime adaptation.
He was begging for more time. It didn't really sound like a resignation to me.

I admit I skipped all the Zetsuen posts, but what was wrong with it that you would hate it more than E7?!
I don't have a problem with Avril unlike most of the universe, but that's bizarre, haha.

I'm talking about Code:Breaker, dude. I don't hate Zetsuen, it's just a lot of nonsense.
Oh. Well, it's essentially Blue Knight made it a forceful resignation. lol.
Usually it's bad though, because it means they're just one note and have no range. I mean, I love Sugita but he's basically just using that same voice in everything. But then again, I guess if you're the lead of a minor shounen series, you're basically fucked for life.
Just having listened to the guy who does Spongebob though, each of his voice acting roles are basically completely different from each other. If you aren't a voice over nerd and read credits, you'd probably wouldn't know it was him. Even Nolan North has range, even though everyone just wants the shitty Nathan Drake voice now. lol
I guess that's just my way of saying that I hope these actors with "hick" accents aren't going to be stuck being the "hick" accent actors for the rest of their lives. But just going off of what I know about anime, that seems to be the case.
(This is also my way of saying that Kobayashi > all, I suppose. But even then... while most people are one trick ponies, she's a two or three trick pony.
Yeah, I'm not sure. You have some of the cast for The Simpsons who can do a wide variety of voices and then even going back to anime, there was the one guy in the English dub of DragonBall Z who did a bunch of different voices.
I was going to say with the Japanese seiyuu they change more the volume or pitch of their voice more than outright change it. Kana Hanazawa has a bunch of different voices but you can always tell it's her. There's actually quite a few English dub speakers who do this too though, such as Johnny Yong Bosch. There are also a lot of one or two note people and not just in anime but going back to regular cartoons.
It's not like seiyuu's can't change their voice as Kotono Mitsuishi, who does Sailor Moon, has a much different voice for her than, say, Jury from Utena. I didn't even know she did both voices until I looked it up. I recognize Yuriko Fuchizaki's voice for Anthy in Utena but she did the voice of a young boy in Saint Seiya Omega and her voice was so different I couldn't tell it was her at all.
I guess it depends on your familiarity with a given seiyuu as well. Most people seem to think Rie Kugimiya is rather one note because she gets type cast into "Kugi loli" roles often. She can have a rather soft, almost ojousama type voice, such as her role as Shannon in Umineko. I haven't heard it personally but I've read people express surprise when they find out she does the voice for Alphonse in Full Metal Alchemist, so she actually has a few different voices.
I'd say the English and Japanese are probably comparable. Listening to many English dubs years ago the voice actors and actresses seemed rather one note or only did more of a pitch/volume change too. When it came to outright changing their voice it seemed it was more people who worked more exclusively in western cartoons such as Spongebob or The Simpsons.
Ah, right, I remember those. I've seen someone with your Palutena drawing too.
I used to draw quite a bit when I was younger but it was more sketches and I didn't really colour much of them in. I would more often look at a picture from a magazine or video game booklet or something and draw that than original stuff but I did enough of that too.
I got good enough at replicating pictures that people accused me of tracing and it got to the point that if I was entering a contest or competition, I would bring the original to the judges for reference, to show that I had simply scaled the drawing up or down in size.
I haven't drawn at all for about ten years though and all my pictures are put away. Sometimes I've wanted to take a look at the odd one I could remember but I can't remember which box some of them are stored in and for now it's too much hassle to look.
Ok good, you are still here.
Did you watch the Japanese original Sailor Moon or some other language dub? I'd personally recommend watching the original if you haven't.
Haha, well, Tuxedo Mask used a sail to go wind surfing once.

I can vouch for this.
Oh, well when Vanquish said to throw him down the pit or whatever, I thought that he was just trying to shame Cyan Pile, not "fire" him from the guild. Okay then.
